Airport

Well ... 

Here are some photos of Owen, Bron, Ella & Sami at the airport moments before they board their plane.

Needless to say there were lots of tears and many hugs and kisses. 

Gods blessing to all of you! 

Remember we love you lots and we are only a SKYPE call away! :)

Last Days

The day has come to say farewell to Owen, Bron, Ella & Sami.

It feels like only yesterday that we were discussing the POSSIBILITY of them moving away.

Today has come around so quickly and right now we are waving them farwell as they encumber upon this new journey in their lives.

My sister, my friend, my princesses and of course the big brotherly love of owen are going to be greatly missed. 

Stay close to each other and stay closer to GOD. Remember His many great blessings in your life and may He make you a blessing and a light where ever you are in the world!

Here are some of the memories of our last few days together before they board the plane and say not GOODBYE but SEE YA LATER!

Z ... Z

Z is for Z

Today we come to the end of our photo challenge. 

I hope the letter z brings something special into your day today. 

Enjoy

Y ... Yummy

Y is for Yummy

At the moment I LOVVVVEEE Nandos. 

My favourite sauce to use at home is the garlic peri peri (as seen below) and the perinaise is like mayo but with chilli in it. 

I never used to like spice but mmmmmmm ... this is soo good.

Also at the moment becasue we have club on Tuesday nights we have made that our Nandos night. 

So so so soooo good.

I do advise you try. There is also a none spicy sauce they do "Lemon & Herb" but the Mild flavour is the best!

Well I hope I haven't made you too hungry. :)

Enjoy!

Today

Today ...

.. I slept in till 745.

.. I ate egg on toast with philly for breakfast.

.. I have done about six loads of washing. Sheets, quilt covers & towels included. 

.. I am listening to really loud music while cleaning the house.

.. I went crazy and got rid of a whole pile of ruined toys.

.. I sorted out our bank accounts and made sure we are on track for all upcoming bills.

.. I planned to start a house cleaning roster.

.. I realized that in 9 days time my sister, brother in law and my 2 little princesses will be on their way to the land of far far away. I guess princesses deserve to explore far far away places don't they.

.. I tried to promise myself not to cry at the thought of them leaving.

.. Broke the promise I made myself, and then told myself it is ok to cry. :)

.. I prayed that God will keep them safe, let them enjoy this wonderful oppurtunity and bring them home in due time. 

.. I want to send a big hug and kiss to all my family, who I know at the moment feel all these things too.

Love you all!

X ... X

X is for X

Not much starts with X so I thought I would give the letter itself all the glory.

W ... Wedding

W is for Wedding.

I kinda cheated ont his one and went back through my archive of photos and found some of a wedding I shot in October 2008.

Everybody meet Dave & Heather Steenhof. They are two of the most beautiful people I know. They are genuine, honest, loving and funny. I am very blessed that I have both of you in my life.

Last week on 23rd February they were blessed with a little baby daughter. As yet I have not been privileged to meet little Erica Grace, which means I haven't got any snaps yet either, but I know for sure that both Dave and Heather are very proud parents and I know that you will do a fantastic job in raising your little princess :)

V ... Vegemite

V is for Vegemite.

We're happy little vegemites

As bright as bright can be.

We all enjoy our vegemite

for breakfast lunch and tea.

Our mummy say were growing stronger

every single week!

becasue we LOVE our vegemite,

We all ADORE our vegemite,

It puts a ROSE in eveery cheek.

Vegemite on a hot toast with lots of butter ... mmmm ... nothing compares to that rich salty taste.

U ... Underwear

U is for Underware AKA Undies.

Everybody has them, everybody wears them (well most people wear them) but isn't it funny that anyone can wear a bikini top and bottom and noone thinks twice but if it is undies and a bra WELL then that is a different story. I don't quite understand what the difference is, if anything bikins are more exposing then bras and undies. I don't judge anyone who wears a bikini, but it does make you wonder where to draw the line in modesty. And why the need for a bikini really? White is the new brown apparently . Tanning is not good for the skin and can possibly lead to skin cancer. These are unfortunately the facts. Think of this what you will.

As for undies, I found these on special at Target last week and I absolutely LOVE the colours. 

Enjoy

T ... Thongs

T is for thongs.

I LIVE in my Havaianas. I have lots of different colours and I wear them WHEN EVER I can.

These ones are not my own but I love the fact that they are very patriotic.
